“My AB cochlear implant has had a great impact on my relationships, especially with my friends. Being able to hear as well as others do in school doesn’t set me apart from them.”
— Edward Freeman, AB recipient
As the industry’s only microphone placed at the opening of the ear canal, the T-Mic uses the outer ear’s sound-gathering capabilities for better hearing in noisy settings, and allows you to enjoy phones, earbuds, and headphones like everyone else.
AB’s patented T-Mic™ accessory places the microphone at the opening of the ear canal where it can take advantage of the outer ear’s sound-gathering shape to help you or your child hear more naturally. The result is more focused, effortless listening in any environment, from a quiet meeting room to a noisy classroom to listening to your car radio.
There’s no reason a cochlear implant system has to be plain or discreet – unless you want it to be that way. To help express the real you, AB provides three distinct ways to dress your system up, or down, whichever you or your child prefers. So as you venture into the world of hearing, you can make your processor stand out – or blend in – as much as you choose.

“The T-Mic is a microphone at the entrance to my ear canal. This allows my ears to focus the sound to the mic, just like natural hearing. When I use the phone, I hold it up to my ear just like anybody else… Best of all, I hear better with it, particularly in noisy situations.”
—Howard Samuels, implanted at age 44, bilaterally implanted at age 47
